Paddy Plantation Season Starts In Nepal

Paddy seedlings are seen after being transplanted into muddy fields by Nepali farmers on the outskirts of Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, on June 15, 2025. The rice plantation season begins with the start of Asar, as farmers carefully plant young rice shoots into waterlogged fields during the monsoon, continuing a traditional agricultural practice that supports Nepal's staple crop production and rural economy.
